Sheriff Leroy D. Baca

Sheriffc/o: County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department4700 Ramona BoulevardMonterey Park, CA 91754-2169

Dear Sheriff Baca:

I hope this finds you and your fine staff all well! I am an internationally recognized member of the mediaand currently an official Write-In candidate for the office of Mayor of Los Angeles. I have had the pleasureof presenting my work to State and National members of Congress and NGO’s around the world, but todayI plead for your attention as a personal victim of flagrant knowing and malicious violations of the

Constitution committed by more than twenty-nine of your sheriff representatives acting under Color of Lawin a manner unbecoming our fine State of California, for more than fifteen months and eleven days withoutany relief in sight.

I am particularly responding to the attached letter from you, dated March 6, 2013, signed by Captain StevenE. Biagini, regarding Watch Commander’s Service Comment Report #231695. I have already left amessage for Lieutenant Dale Gulley on Friday, March 8, 2013.

I am additionally responding to your statement, “If we do not hear from you by March 17, 2013, we willnecessarily consider that you no longer wish to pursue this matter and your complaint will be closed.”

I would like to be very clear, in writing, that I REFUSE CONSENT. You have done nothing thus far toproperly investigate my in-custody hospitalization and torture at the hands of your deputies acting underColor of Law at Lynwood from November 14, 2011 until November 16, 2011, NOR the unlawful terminationof my first pregnancy at the hands of those that apparently call themselves the “Vikings” and some violentgang members posing as active members of the LAPD… nor the current unconstitutional treatment of thepregnant women currently incarcerated at Lynwood… and yet you have the audacity to give me only elevendays to respond to your fake investigation?!?!?!

I don’t care if I were never to respond again, I DEMAND ON BEHALF OF MY DEAD FETUS WHO WILLNEVER BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO CAPTAIN BIAGINI’S STUPID LETTER, THAT YOU FULLYINVESTIGATE MY ALLEGATIONS AS DATED IN THE PETITION FOR A WRIT OF PROHIBITO DATEDNOVEMBER 26, 2012, AS ATTACHED IN MY INITIAL COMPLAINT TO LIEUTENANT MCBRIDE OFLASD INTERNAL AFFAIRS ON FEBRUARY 7, 2013 (see attached notarized letter). It is your obligationand duty to the Constitution for the United States of America as well as the California State Constitution of1849, that you have taken a sworn oath to uphold, to continue to investigate my allegations in a timelymanner, regardless of whether or not I respond to you, or whether or not, G-d Forbid, I might have befallentragic ends at the hands of one of your goons before you have a chance to take away their guns, or whether or not I am finally out of town working again, or whether or not, I am away getting help for thePTSD and grief I am still suffering from, for which there is no remedy…

I know that you are very busy and imagine that I appreciate your time much more than you appreciatemine, but I expect to get a personal phone call from you apologizing for your insensitivity and lack ofalacrity with regards to the handling of the investigation of Case #1CA16847-02, within FIVE DAYS OR WeThe People will issue a Writ of Quo Warranto demanding that you show cause as to why you deserve to

continue to hold office or RESIGN.

I have enclosed plenty of evidence worthy of being reviewed by the Office of Chief Trial Counsel, the Officeof Investigative Review, The California Commission on Judicial Performance, Countywide Criminal JusticeCoordination Committee and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for criminal violations of the Constitutionfor the United States of America, as well as the California State Constitution of 1849, conducted under colorof law by members of LASD, LAPD, LBPD, court staff, judges, and State Bar Panel Attorneys including, butnot limited to:

• Excessive force

• Perjury under oath

• Kidnapping, torture, and continuing Cruel & Unusual punishment of a pregnant member of the

media resulting in the unlawful termination of her first pregnancy• Withholding of food, clothes and medical attention, as well as the shackling of a pregnant member

of the media

• Continuing Cruel & Unusual punishment intentionally participating in the form of a “trial by ordeal”

as deemed Cruel & Unusual in the 1600’s

• Stalking and civil harassment unbecoming a law enforcement officer, resulting in treating the

complainant as an adversary

We, The People, of the State of California, demand a formal federal investigation into the multiple in-custody hospitalizations of then pregnant, Melissa Balin; the LASD Internal Affairs Investigation URN #911-00492-4016-187; FO#2302198; as well as the disturbing practices of the Good City Attorney’s Office andthe Indigent Criminal Defense Appointment to work in collusion with your Department to treat SovereignCitizens with an unbecoming prejudice that would be indicated by a pattern of discriminatory actions andhuman rights violations in full public view, illustrating a disturbing pattern of selective enforcement, thatshould shock the conscience of ANY True & Honest Oathkeeper (please see attached Change.org petitionalso online at http://www.change.org/petitions/miscarriage-of-justice).

Unlike the Sheriff’s Department and Bar Panel’s continued disregard for my own time, as a former LAUSDMock Trial participant (1991/1992) I very much appreciate the value of your limited time and resources anddo not make such requests for Immediate and Compensatory Relief lightly.

I have been falsely prosecuted for more than fifteen months and eleven days for falsified misdemeanor

charges of Contempt of Court, subjected to civil harassment continuing until present day, and falsifiedarrests every two weeks during my first pregnancy over the 2011 Holiday Season [November 14,November 30, and December 15] resulting in two in-custody hospitalizations and an unlawful termination ofmy first pregnancy, under lackadaisical review by both the LASD Internal Affairs AND the LAPD InternalAffairs, and the Long Beach City Attorney’s Office, for more than one year without being assigned aninvestigation number…

TRUE STATEMENT OF FACTS:

2



1. On November 14, 2011, Melissa Balin had identified herself clearly as an international member ofthe media there to observe the case of a complete stranger, Daniel Falantoonzadeh, in Case#1JB07173 Upon her unconstitutional arrest several hours later, she was denied medical attentionor legal counsel while she was unlawfully searched and had her property removed from her body in

violation of the 4th

Amendment for assumed arguendo misdemeanor charges that had not beenfiled yet. It is worth noting that there was no probable cause or reason to search Melissa Balinsince she had already been through the court metal detectors and searched prior to entry and wasnot yet being charged with anything.

2. Even though the entire court staff and all seventeen Sheriffs present that day for whatever reason, were fully aware of Melissa Balin’s name, they pretended that Melissa Balin was “anotherSovereign” refusing to identify herself, and pretended to learn Balin’s name while eavesdroppingon her interaction with Ambulance Drivers & Paramedic Responders of Unit #804 from DeputyFerreira eavesdropping, intentionally misspelling it as “Balis” in order to make it impossible forBalin’s family attorney, Bruce Margolin, esq., or Lil’ Zeke’s BailBondsmen friends, family, or fellow

members of the media to find the filmmaker/activist for more than 53 hours, until she was releasedon her own recognizance in arraignment by Judge Paul T. Suzuki, in Department 80.

3. Melissa Balin was withheld medical attention for her injuries for several hours prior to beingremoved from the building by paramedics, on a spineboard. Sergeant Brenna Aldana who hadfilmed Balin’s unconstitutional arrest accompanied Balin to the emergency room with anotherdeputy. It is worth noting that Sergeant Aldana was present when all parties discovered that Balin was pregnant for the first time prior to having x-rays in the emergency room.

4. On November 14, 2011, Melissa Balin was intentionally and improperly charged with 298.1 Failureto Provide DNA, which is only federally permissible to ask of a felony arrestee. This was not aninnocent error, but a willful and malicious mistake to further brand Balin as recalcitrant with a“Keep-Away-Six” Designation, intended to further curtail her liberty in ways that have since beendeemed as unconstitutional treatment, such as the shackling of pregnant inmates, with fullknowledge that Balin was being charged with Misdemeanor charges, if she was being charged atall. It is worth noting that the 298.1 charges were no longer being pressed by arraignment onNovember 16, 2012 after wasting the taxpayer dollars expended in transporting inmates, tointentionally take Balin to the wrong courthouse for more intimidation tactics, solitary confinementfor hours, withholding food from a pregnant woman and other sadistic tortures, all while referring toBalin mockingly, as “The People of California”.

5. Whether or not the prosecutor was aware of the falsified charges at the time of arraignment, oneneed only look at the arrest complaint, warrant, and transcript, to see that no charges should havebeen filed in this case, and that this is a case of selective enforcement on the part of the LASheriff’s Department in collusion with the City Attorney’s Office.

6. It is worth noting that the arrest complaint was signed by one of the Sheriffs, documented as beinginvolved in using excessive force during the arrest, and that the actual arrest warrant was notsigned until November 16, 2011 by LASD Detective Bayes, after all parties were aware thatMelissa Balin was two weeks pregnant; without any Internal Affairs interview of Balin with regards

3



to what happened in spite of her documented in-custody hospitalization, other than SergeantDancel’s interrogation without Mirandizing Balin, which was not given over in discovery and deniedas even existing, for more than six months; and without ANY ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FORMJUDGE RENE KORN.

7. According to Masinter 355 So.2d 1288, the power to jail for contempt is given "on the assumptionthat it will be judiciously and sparingly employed".and this outrageous abuse of authority undercolor of law, was neither.

8. On November 30, 2011, Melissa Balin was unconstitutionally arrested by the LAPD, along with 292other innocent victims, for pretending to film the LAPD with a camera that had run out of battery while she wrote down the badge numbers of abusive officers by hand on a yellow legal pad; withfull knowledge of all parties that Melissa Balin was both pregnant AND an international member ofthe media, as well as that Balin was scheduled for a pre-trial hearing in three hours and had nointention of being anything other than compliant in order to be able to make it to court on time.

9. Melissa Balin was on the cover of that morning’s LA Times (see attached), with the caption,“Melissa Balin yells at the LAPD” so it is hard to imagine that the court was not aware that Balin was in custody, but under this pretense, a bench warrant was issued for Balin WHILE SHE WASALREADY IN CUSTODY UNDER THE SAME NAME.

10. On December 8, 2011, it became known to all parties that contrary to falsified Sheriff reports,Judge Rene Korn had NEVER found Melissa Balin in contempt of court and had only asked forBalin’s removal from the court room. Upon this discovery, Court Counsel D. Brett Bianco madeJudge Korn unavailable for any questioning other than during trial, resulting in a flagrant andunconstitutional suppression of evidence for OVER ONE YEAR until it was finally acknowledged bythe court on January 31, 2013.

11. On January 3, 2012, Lieutenant Mack, who is not only a key witness in the case, but theSupervising Watch Commander for the entire Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Centerbuilding, cornered Melissa Balin in the lobby of the courthouse, asking how she had been, as witnessed in full public view. Balin told Lieutenant Mack that she had had a miscarriage over theholidays. Lieutenant Mack said that he was sorry to hear it and while tapping his gun, he said,“maybe you should find a safer way to get your message out?”

12. It is worth noting that Lieutenant Mack signed off on his own Use of Force Investigation on January4, 2012, the day after he learned of Balin’s miscarriage.

OTHER POINTS AND AUTHORITIES:

Title 18, USC, Section 4 states, “Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felonycognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known thesame to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be finedunder this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both”.

Title 42, U.S.C., Section 14141 makes it unlawful for state or local law enforcement agencies toallow officers to engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives persons of rights protected by theConstitution or U.S. laws. This law, commonly referred to as the Police Misconduct Statute, gives theDepartment of Justice authority to seek civil remedies in cases where law enforcement agencies havepolicies or practices that foster a pattern of misconduct by employees. This action is directed against an

agency, not against individual officers. The types of issues which may initiate a pattern and practiceinvestigation, include:* Lack of supervision/monitoring of officers' actions;* Lack of justification or reporting by officers on incidents involving the use of force;* Lack of, or improper training of, officers; and* Citizen complaint processes that treat complainants as adversaries.

The words of the great Abraham Lincoln, another autodidact of the law, who said, “We ThePeople are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution,but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

CONCLUSION:

In light of the irreparable damage of the miscarriage of Melissa Balin’s first pregnancy, for whichthere is NO remedy, We The People, demand an immediate investigation into the continuing cruel andunusual punishment of the pregnant women currently incarcerated in Los Angeles County, in the hopes ofsaving the unborn children of Lynwood, who currently have no ability to petition the courts on their ownbehalf.

Please see attached Petition for a Writ of Prohibition, Quo Warranto, Mandate or Other ImmediateRelief dated November 26, 2012.

Regardless of my current disillusionment with the alacrity of Justice and Discipline when it comes to theUnbecoming Conduct of Los Angeles Law Enforcement representatives acting with impunity under color oflaw, I continue to peacefully make a record in hopes of the day when someone will do something aboutthese continuing and malicious malfeasances of Justice being committed in full public view against theGood People of California. I would like to see some kind of discipline for confirmed violations of theConstitution for the United States of America, as well as the California State Constitution of 1849,committed by more than twenty-three members of the LA County Sheriff’s Department acting under Colorof Law, as well as sanctions against these deputies including but not limited to discipline, and/or prohibitingthem from carrying firearms or from ever again levying unsubstantiated and/or falsified charges againstanother innocent victim.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter of great importance to Justice For All.

Most Respectfully,Melissa BalinFilmmaker/Defendant/VictimOn behalf of The People of California323.839.0149 cell
